There are several words for wheels losing traction; spinning, sliding, drifting, breaking free...
If it happens to the front wheels while cornering it'll cause understeer = the car will continue straight forward despite the driver trying to turn.
Hydroplaning.
Are you referring to what is called over-steer and under-steer, which vary whether driving a front wheel drive or rear wheel?
Loss of traction in the rear wheels of a vehicle is called spinning, sliding, drifting... In NASCAR terms, loose.
All wheel drive is automatic:no driver interaction is needed.The system senses a loss of traction and redirects available engine torque to the wheels that have the most traction and away from the wheels that are slipping.

AdvanceTrac is not an all-wheel-drive system; rather, it is a traction control technology developed by Ford. It helps improve vehicle stability and control by managing wheel spin and adjusting engine power and braking when it detects slip or loss of traction. While it can enhance performance in slippery conditions, it is distinct from all-wheel drive, which provides power to all four wheels simultaneously for better traction.
Loss of traction. The loss of traction can come from braking too quickly. Or accelerating to quickly
Possible failed U joint or cv joint at the left front wheel
The traction control button in a 2006 Ford Freestyle is designed to help improve vehicle stability and control during slippery conditions, such as rain or snow. When activated, it reduces wheel spin by adjusting engine power and applying brakes to individual wheels, helping to maintain traction. If the system detects a loss of traction, the button can be used to turn the traction control on or off, allowing the driver to customize vehicle handling as needed.
Speed sensors on the wheels determine which one is slipping and apply power to the others to compensate for the loss of traction. The Subaru system also ensures that equal power is going to every wheel at all times.
The AWD works off an auto clutch system that primaraly drives the front weels, hence why they wear quicker than the rear. The all wheel drive kicks in when loss of traction occurs and put more power to the wheels with traction there is also sensers on each wheel to help detect this, they can become faulty especily when use on dusty roads or through water alot, A Europe car dealer or specalist is probabley you best bet in order to safely repair hope this helps.
"Trac off" on a PT Cruiser typically refers to the traction control system being disabled or turned off. This system helps prevent wheel spin and loss of traction by applying brakes to individual wheels as needed. When the "trac off" light is illuminated, it means the traction control system is not actively assisting in maintaining traction, which could be due to a manual override by the driver or a malfunction in the system.
